127 – The Devil of the World

The Devil of the World

“Is the instructor the devil of the world?”

Rai’s eyes lit up after hearing Philia’s question.

Seeing her mischievous thinning eyes, Philia touches the glass in her hand as if to hide her tension.

“No, I’m Rye Redford.”

“……”

To see through her truth, Philia carefully examines his face, but nothing is revealed.

The subtle expressions that can’t tell whether it’s true or false are disgusting.

“What would I do if I were the devil of the world?”

“Nothing. If you have a good camouflaged career as a survivor of the Battle of Rennen, it’s probably something higher up is involved. I, a lowly person, can’t figure out what that means.”

Philia looks up at the sunless sky, she says.

She expressed that they were higher-ranking people, but that the emperor was involved.

Rai looks at her proudly.

“No matter what I said, you’ve already come to a conclusion.”

Casting a soundproofing spell around her and Rai talking, Philia drinks an alcoholic beverage.

“There was a time when I came to a conclusion and got a big nose injury.”

“I made progress through my mistakes.”

Philia mentions that when she first met Rai, she doubted his career and fought.

Philia, who glanced at the rai wrapped in her affectionately, lowered her gaze to the glass she was holding with both hands.

“I grew up learning that all evil is the Empire’s fierce enemy.”

“Really? That’s how I was taught. I grew up in the Empire.”

At Rai’s words, Philia frowned and glared.

Filia, who had been staring at Rai’s attitude as if she was upset at Rai’s attitude, not knowing how much of it was true or just a joke, lowered her gaze again.

I can’t help it. Even if she is in the position of all evil, she cannot easily reveal her identity.

Since she can’t unleash the evil that was her biggest enemy during the war, there may be restrictions that are hard to imagine.

She’s not saying she’s not even lying, she’s opening up possibilities with playful words. Realizing that she cares for herself, Philia shakes her head.

“What made you think that?”

“I researched your career when I first saw you. I’m sorry.”

“I’m sorry. But if I did a career search, nothing would come out? My career is only Rennen.”

At Rai’s question, Philia nodded her head.

“Yes, there was only one. That’s why I doubted it all the more. If it’s an instructor’s skill, there’s no way he’s only had that kind of experience.”

Filia’s reasoning is nothing special.

Anyone who doubted Rai must have deepened their doubts after seeing her easy-to-disguise career.

However, there are no waves. Because it doesn’t really exist.

But Selenas or Layla proves his identity.

Most of them stop their suspicions there or interrogate the two who prove their identity.

“I think I happen to be in a good position to look at the instructor. I’m learning by the instructor’s side, and there are masters who know the instructor. Master curses the instructor…”

“Selma caught my gossip? The salamander bastard hasn’t been scolded yet.”

“Keep listening. Master curses at you, but if you keep listening, it feels like he’s talking about pleasant memories. You can tell he misses those days.”

As Philia continues to talk, arguing not to interrupt her, Rai shrugs her shoulders and listens.

“Master seems to have enjoyed what he had with the instructor. But the strange thing is, listening to the story, it’s clear that Master did something with the instructor, but Mr. Clay doesn’t. It’s strange, isn’t it?”

“I don’t have fond memories of Clay either.”

“Yes, as far as I know.”

Rai feels strange at Philia’s answer and looks at her.

“As far as I know, Verdigris Lizard and Bane’s Corrupt Knight have always been together. The only time they were apart was when Verdigris Lizard was with the Legion of All Evil.”

Philia meets her eyes with Rai.

Her unwavering eyes made her sure of the answer she had figured out.

She thinks she was sharp this time, and Rai smiles.

“It’s fun.”

“Yes, that’s an interesting assumption. Who would have imagined that Manak was teaching at the best academy in the Empire?”

Philia shrugs her shoulders and as if it’s nothing, she takes a drink.

However, her gaze at Rai was still unwavering.

Imperial Year 272. Feodor, Capital of Caylan Kingdom

“Don’t go in wearing Count Treyer’s weapon!”

As Elliott, the demon of all nations, drags her lieutenants in, the knights who have been reviewing her long corridor hurriedly shout.

The knight who mustered up the courage to say this to Elliot, who seemed to be in a bad mood from the moment she entered, gulps at her and gets nervous.

Elliot doesn’t even respond to her knight and walks away throwing the sword from her waist to her side.

The adjutants who followed did not stop their steps toward the door at the end of the hallway and threw their weapons onto Elliot’s sword.

– Bang!

Elliot kicks the door before the soldier guarding the door can open it and goes inside.

“You look like a filthy bastard with no manners.”

One of the nobles inside sees her Elliot and clicks her tongue.

Margoss, King of Cailen Kingdom, sitting on the throne, looks at Elliot with white eyebrows furrowed.

It was strange that Elliot walked down the red carpet and showed no manners in front of the king, but Margos’s eyes looking down on the commander-in-chief who was protecting the kingdom were also strange.

As Elliot, who stands upright with the king in front of him, turns his head to the side, the nobles in the center, who are in a row on both sides, avoid their eyes.

Among the nobles who talk casually behind the scenes but can’t do anything in front of them, there are a few nobles who look at them with eyes similar to those of the king.

The king’s prime minister and dukes are the main characters in the eyes.

Joshua and Melanie, who are behind the scenes, do not show respect to the king or nobles, perhaps because they resemble the captain, Eliot.

Like the other lieutenants, they follow only the Devil of the Nations.

“You’re cocky. Get down on your knees.”

“Ha, the country looks ruined. Does that matter now?”

“Kneel.”

As Margos says, tying a seal the size of her finger, Elliot bends her one knee with a look of annoyance.

As Elliot knelt down, the lieutenants behind him also knelt down with him.

“How many times do I have to teach a hound dog not to keep its head stiff?”

“Okay, who changed the imperial defense plan? How many times do I have to teach you that the gateway is a decoy?”

There was no such thing as respect to say that it was said to the king.

However, Margos doesn’t take issue with Elliott’s sloppy speech.

“You lowly fellow, don’t you think I don’t know what your black sword is?”

“You are the one who is black inside. Who are you? You are a spy planted by the bastard empire, so tell me quickly.”

“hahahaha, did you think you didn’t know that you’re gathering troops around young local lords?”

“What bullsh*t. With that stamp, can I rebel?”

“If you’re cunning, you’ve probably thought of a way around it. Of course, that way is burning right now.”

At Margos’ words, Elliott’s complexion hardened.

“You crazy bastard. The imperial army is coming and you killed the local lords?”

“The inside must be stable to block the outside. Isn’t that the basics of strategy? There are no bugs who don’t know the subject and want to usurp the kingdom, so be at ease and stop the imperial army.”

Elliot looks at Margos with a blank face.

It is true that the soldiers were gathered around the young local lord.

However, he persuaded the lords in preparation for an invasion by the imperial army.

Elliot tried to command the army obtained from the local lords by placing all forces on the border with the empire as the number of imperial troops rushing in this time was unusual.

I didn’t know where the Imperial Army’s goal was, so it was a plan to move one step away from the battlefield and see the Imperial Army’s players.

But that mad king burned the 2nd Army.

A dumbfounded Elliot couldn’t help but put on an uncharacteristically dazed expression.

It didn’t take a day or two for the king to go mad, so maybe it was a planned procedure.

What I don’t like is that all of this is the work of the Empire.

The Empire has been working behind the scenes for decades to take over the kingdom of Kaylan.

When Margos, who went to another country as a hostage in the name of studying abroad, returned to inherit the throne, he was already delirious.

Margos, who was at the mercy of the Empire in a foreign country where escorts were weak, did not know what happened to Margos, but he was very self-righteous, but he was incompetent, and he became a small person who was jealous of those who were popular with the kingdom.

In doing so, he turned him into a man with no answers, who was consumed with drugs and pleasure.

The Empire succeeded in corrupting Margoss and putting him on the throne, not even in the line of succession.

The fact that Margos, who was like a discarded card in the Kingdom of Kaylan, ascends to the throne means that the kingdom’s political sphere is already in the palm of the empire.

Innumerable traitors, countless spies, nobles and commoners, merchants and servants, knights and soldiers, there was no place that was not exposed to the influence of the empire.

No matter how much Elliot cuts and cuts the mana grass, he couldn’t get out all the poison of the empire that was deeply rooted even before he was born.

From the point of view of the empire, it was going well as planned, but the demons of all countries would fall and be embarrassed.

“Ha- I’m screwed.”

“If you are the commander-in-chief, refrain from saying anything that could damage the kingdom’s morale. I do not tolerate rude words to the king.”

Elliot looked at the Chancellor as he spoke calmly.

It is clear that he is in communication with the empire, but he is a person that Elliot could not single out because he was favored by the king.

Perhaps it was he who provoked the rebellion by the king’s side.

Elliot doesn’t answer the Prime Minister and looks at the other nobles around him.

He has no doubts that he attacked the local lords as if he had already fallen for the chancellor’s words.

How many of them are in contact with the empire? It’s a ridiculous imagination, but maybe it’s all.

If you don’t go crazy, you won’t indulge in the pleasure of attacking the kingdom from all sides.

“I’ll admit, old raccoon. You’re such a great human being.”

From noble mtl dot com

Elliott praises Julius with a fishy smile.

As Emperor Julius intended, the palace of the Kingdom of Kaylan was ruined.

The central government lost its power to grasp the situation, falling behind in pleasure and leaving government affairs behind.

This must be his own responsibility for winning all the battles around him without a single crisis.

He curses Eliot, but the nobles trust him.

When the devils of all nations step forward, they win.

I think it’s only natural to block the imperial army now rushing in.

In a situation where there is no answer, Elliot looks up at the ceiling and sighs.

The invisible hand of the Empire has won the war.

“Go. Go to the gateway and risk your life to stop the imperial army.”

Margos sneers and stamps the seal in his hand on the handle of his throne.

Once the seal is stamped, Elliot cannot refuse.

The command of the seal connected with the soul had to be followed unconditionally regardless of his will.

Margos is satisfied with the pleasure of being able to command the devil of all nations feared by all nations with a single gesture.

“I will close the gate as the king wishes.”

Elliot prostrates himself politely.

She can feel the aristocrats next to her laughing, but Elliot doesn’t mind and gets up and leaves.

“If we continue like this, we will lose. The gateway is 100% bait.”

Elliot laughs as Joshua, who was behind her, speaks.

“Would you like to be in District 2?”

“You want us to die as rebels too? I don’t like that.”

“Is the marshland defense commander Lester? I need to warn them.”

Joshua shook his head and refused, so Juan next to him scratched his white beard and said.

When the unit is decided to go to the Ketranca Gate, the adjutants give their opinions and try to make the best out of unfavorable circumstances.

“Why don’t you send half of your troops to the swamp? If you’re a captain, at least your soldiers can stop it.”

At the opinion of Mikhail, who boasts of immaculate skin that is not like a knight, the adjutants laugh at him.

“Mikhail is greedy for a commander, Captain?”

“Oh, no! I meant Lieutenant Melanie! Lieutenant Melanie or Lieutenant Joshua could lead better than Commander Lester!”

Mikhail is flustered by the jokes of his adjutants and speaks quickly.

It’s a dangerous situation, but Melanie opens her mouth in a nonchalant voice while laughter erupts among the adjutants.

“I don’t go anywhere except by the captain’s side.”

“Me too. Whichever way the Imperial Army goes, they will break through where there is no captain, so the one next to the captain has the highest chance of survival, right?”

Joshua makes an exaggerated joke about his life.

It was hard to think that they were going to a battlefield as they all joked and chatted, but the spirit of the adjutants sharpened as if they hadn’t always been like that.

There was no fear in the eyes of those who went to war where defeat seemed likely.

Wyatt emerges from among the knights who are reviewing after going outside the gate.

“Where is your destination, Captain?”

“Gateway to Quetranca.”

“That’s crazy.”

Wyatt shakes his head and laughs.

Elliot says as he makes his way through the path of soldiers that Wyatt has cleared.

“Let’s pray our predictions are wrong.”

“There is always a prayer at the end.”

“I’m quite a devout believer.”

He raises his middle finger toward the sky and says.
